Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ceramic ball production technology, and in particular relates to an automated ceramic ball forming mold. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic balls are precision ceramics sintered at high temperatures in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. They possess high strength, high wear resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, can be used for a long time in seawater, and have excellent electrical and magnetic insulation properties.

[0003] In common ceramic ball production, raw materials are typically extruded using molds. However, adding raw materials into the mold can easily lead to waste and is not conducive to resource conservation. Furthermore, removing the ceramic balls from the mold after extrusion is cumbersome and time-consuming. Therefore, we propose an automated ceramic ball forming mold. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated ceramic ball forming mold to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an automated ceramic ball forming mold, comprising:

[0006] The workbench has several mold slots on its top and through holes at the bottom of the mold slots. A rectangular groove is formed inside the workbench and at the bottom of the through holes. A push rod is slidably installed in the through holes, and the bottom end of the push rod extends into the rectangular groove.

[0007] A power assembly, located within a rectangular groove, is used to drive several push rods to move up and down;

[0008] An L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the L-shaped plate. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the top of the L-shaped plate and is fixedly installed with a lower pressure plate. Several upper molds are fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower pressure plate. A scraper is slidably installed on the top of the workbench.

[0009] A drive assembly located on the scraper and used to drive the scraper to move;

[0010] A collection trough is provided inside the workbench and located on one side of several mold slots. A collection box is inserted and installed inside the collection trough.

[0011] In this technical solution, during use, personnel first place the raw materials for ceramic ball production into several mold slots and fill the mold slots with raw materials. Then, personnel can drive the scraper to move smoothly on the top of the worktable through the drive component. At the same time, the movement of the scraper can scrape off the excess raw materials on the top of the mold slots and scrape the excess raw materials on the top of the mold slots into the collection box, ensuring that personnel can easily collect the excess raw materials, ensuring that there is no waste of raw materials, and helping to save resources.

[0012] Then, the scraper is reset, and the hydraulic cylinder is started. The output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder will drive the lower pressure plate to move downward. The downward movement of the lower pressure plate will drive several upper molds to move downward until the bottom of several upper molds are inserted into the corresponding mold slots. At this time, the downward movement of the upper molds will squeeze the raw material in the mold slots. Under the squeezing of the mold slots and the upper molds, the raw material can be automatically squeezed into ceramic spheres. Then, the power component will drive several push rods to move upward. The upward movement of several push rods will squeeze the ceramic spheres in several mold slots upward until the ceramic spheres in the mold slots are higher than the top of the mold slots, ensuring that the extruded ceramic spheres can be automatically squeezed out, making it easy for personnel to remove the extruded ceramic spheres.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the power component further includes:

[0014] A rectangular plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of several top rods and located in a rectangular groove. Electric push rods are symmetrically fixedly installed at the top of the rectangular groove, and the output ends of two electric push rods are fixed to the top of the rectangular plate.

[0015] In this technical solution, two electric push rods are activated. The output shafts of the two electric push rods drive a rectangular plate to move upward within a rectangular groove. The upward movement of the rectangular plate drives several push rods to move upward. The upward movement of the push rods squeezes ceramic balls in several mold grooves upward until the ceramic balls in the mold grooves are higher than the top of the mold grooves. This ensures that the extruded ceramic balls can be automatically extruded, making it easy for personnel to remove the extruded ceramic balls.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the rectangular plate is slidably connected to the rectangular groove, and the output end of the electric push rod is tightly welded to the rectangular plate.

[0017] In this technical solution, it is ensured that the rectangular plate can slide normally within the rectangular groove, and that the output shaft of the electric push rod can drive the rectangular plate to move.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the driving component further includes:

[0019] Two arc-shaped grooves are formed inside the workbench and located on both sides of the scraper. Sliding blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the scraper and in the two arc-shaped grooves. Limiting blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of the L-shaped plate. Handles are fixedly installed on both sides of the scraper, and one end of each handle extends into the two limiting blocks.

[0020] In this technical solution, personnel can hold two handles and move them forcefully, causing the handles to move out of the two limiting blocks. At this time, the two handles will drive the scraper to move, and the movement of the scraper will cause two sliding blocks to slide in the two arc-shaped grooves. Under the limiting action of the two sliding blocks, the two sliding blocks can limit the scraper, allowing the scraper to move smoothly on the top of the worktable. At the same time, the movement of the scraper can scrape off the excess material on the top of several mold slots and scrape the excess material on the top of several mold slots into the collection box, ensuring that personnel can easily collect the excess material, ensuring that there is no waste of material, and helping to save resources.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the sliding block is slidably connected to the arc-shaped groove, and the handle is engaged with the limiting block.

[0022] In this technical solution, it is ensured that the sliding block can slide normally in the arc groove, and that the handle can be locked in the limit block.

[0023] In the above technical solution, furthermore, the plurality of upper molds correspond one-to-one with the plurality of mold slots, and the bottom end of the upper mold is inserted into the mold slot.

[0024] In this technical solution, it is ensured that the bottom ends of several upper molds can be inserted into several mold slots respectively.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder is further slidably connected to the L-shaped plate.

[0026] In this technical solution, it is ensured that the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder can slide normally within the L-shaped plate.

[0027] In the above technical solution, the top end of the push rod matches the bottom of the mold groove.

[0028] In this technical solution, the integrity of the ceramic balls extruded from the mold groove is guaranteed.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0030] 1. This automated ceramic ball forming mold, through the setting of mold slots, and the cooperation of the mold slots, drive components, scrapers and collection boxes, ensures that excess raw materials can be easily collected by personnel, ensuring that no raw materials are wasted and helping to save resources.

[0031] 2. This automated ceramic ball forming mold, through the coordinated action of the hydraulic cylinder, lower pressure plate, upper mold, mold groove, and ejector rod, ensures that the extruded ceramic balls can be automatically extruded, making it easy for personnel to remove the extruded ceramic balls.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an automated ceramic ball forming mold, including:

[0047] The workbench 1 has several mold slots 2 on its top and through holes 3 at its bottom. A rectangular groove 11 is provided inside the workbench 1 and at the bottom of the through holes 3. A push rod 4 is slidably installed in the through holes 3 and the bottom end of the push rod 4 extends into the rectangular groove 11.

[0048] The power assembly is located within the rectangular slot 11 and is used to drive several push rods 4 to move up and down.

[0049] L-shaped plate 7 is fixedly installed on the top of workbench 1. A hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the top of L-shaped plate 7. The output end of hydraulic cylinder 8 passes through the top of L-shaped plate 7 and is fixedly installed with a lower pressure plate 9. Several upper molds 10 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower pressure plate 9. A scraper 14 is slidably installed on the top of workbench 1.

[0050] A drive assembly is located on the scraper 14 and is used to drive the scraper 14 to move.

[0051] Collection trough 17 is opened in the workbench 1 and located on one side of several mold slots 2. Collection box 18 is inserted and installed in the collection trough 17.

[0052] In this process, the operator first puts the raw materials for ceramic ball production into several mold slots 2 and fills the mold slots 2 with raw materials. Then, the operator can drive the scraper 14 to move smoothly on the top of the workbench 1 through the drive component. At the same time, the scraper 14 can scrape off the excess raw materials on the top of the mold slots 2 and scrape the excess raw materials on the top of the mold slots 2 into the collection box 18. This ensures that the operator can collect the excess raw materials in a centralized manner, ensuring that the raw materials are not wasted and is conducive to saving resources.

[0053] Then, the scraper 14 is reset, and the hydraulic cylinder 8 is started. The output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 8 will drive the lower pressure plate 9 to move downward. The downward movement of the lower pressure plate 9 will drive several upper molds 10 to move downward until the bottom ends of several upper molds 10 are inserted into the corresponding mold slots 2. At this time, the downward movement of the upper molds 10 will squeeze the raw material in the mold slots 2. Under the squeezing of the mold slots 2 and the upper molds 10, the raw material can be automatically squeezed into ceramic balls. Then, the power component will drive several push rods 4 to move upward. The upward movement of several push rods 4 will squeeze several ceramic balls in the mold slots 2 to move upward until the ceramic balls in the mold slots 2 are higher than the top of the mold slots 2, ensuring that the extruded ceramic balls can be automatically squeezed out and making it easy for personnel to take out the extruded ceramic balls. Example

[0054] This embodiment provides an automated ceramic ball forming mold, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features, including a power component:

[0055] A rectangular plate 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of several top rods 4 and located in a rectangular groove 11. Electric push rods 6 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the rectangular groove 11, and the output ends of the two electric push rods 6 are fixed to the top of the rectangular plate 5.

[0056] When two electric push rods 6 are activated, the output shafts of the two electric push rods 6 will drive the rectangular plate 5 to move upward in the rectangular groove 11. The upward movement of the rectangular plate 5 will drive several push rods 4 to move upward. The upward movement of the push rods 4 will squeeze the ceramic balls in the mold grooves 2 upward until the ceramic balls in the mold grooves 2 are higher than the top of the mold grooves 2, ensuring that the extruded ceramic balls can be automatically squeezed out and that it is easy for personnel to take out the extruded ceramic balls. Example

[0058] Specifically, this ensures that the rectangular plate 5 can slide normally within the rectangular groove 11, and that the output shaft of the electric push rod 6 can drive the rectangular plate 5 to move. Example

[0059] This embodiment provides an automated ceramic ball forming mold, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features, including a driving component:

[0060] Two arc-shaped grooves 12 are formed inside the workbench 1 and located on both sides of the scraper 14. Sliding blocks 13 are fixedly installed on both sides of the scraper 14 and in the two arc-shaped grooves 12 respectively. Limiting blocks 16 are fixedly installed on both sides of the L-shaped plate 7. Handles 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the scraper 14. One end of each of the two handles 15 extends into the two limiting blocks 16 respectively.

[0061] Personnel can hold two handles 15 and move them forcefully, causing them to move out of the two limiting blocks 16. This causes the scraper 14 to move, which in turn causes two sliding blocks 13 to slide within the two arc-shaped grooves 12. Under the limiting action of the two sliding blocks 13, the scraper 14 can be stopped, allowing it to move smoothly on the top of the workbench 1. The movement of the scraper 14 can remove excess material from the top of several mold slots 2 and scrape it into the collection box 18, ensuring that personnel can easily collect excess material, preventing waste and conserving resources. Example

[0062] This embodiment provides an automated ceramic ball forming mold, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features: the sliding block 13 is slidably connected to the arc groove 12, and the handle 15 is engaged with the limiting block 16.

[0063] Specifically, this ensures that the sliding block 13 can slide normally within the arc groove 12, and that the handle 15 can be locked within the limit block 16. Example

[0064] This embodiment provides an automated ceramic ball forming mold. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features: a plurality of upper molds 10 correspond one-to-one with a plurality of mold grooves 2, and the bottom end of the upper mold 10 is inserted into the mold groove 2.

[0065] In this process, it is ensured that the bottom ends of several upper molds 10 can be inserted into several mold slots 2 respectively. Example

[0066] This embodiment provides an automated ceramic ball forming mold, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features: the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 8 is slidably connected to the L-shaped plate 7.

[0067] This ensures that the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 8 can slide normally within the L-shaped plate 7. Example

[0068] This embodiment provides an automated ceramic ball forming mold, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features: the top end of the ejector rod 4 matches the bottom of the mold groove 2.

[0069] Among these measures, it is essential to ensure the integrity of the ceramic balls extruded within the mold groove 2.

[0070] Working principle: In use, the operator first puts the raw materials for ceramic ball production into several mold slots 2 and fills the mold slots 2 with raw materials. Then, the operator can hold two handles 15 and move the two handles 15 with force, so that the two handles 15 are removed from the two limiting blocks 16 respectively. At this time, the two handles 15 will drive the scraper 14 to move. The movement of the scraper 14 will drive the two sliding blocks 13 to slide in the two arc-shaped grooves 12 respectively. Under the limiting action of the two sliding blocks 13, the two sliding blocks 13 can limit the scraper 14, so that the scraper 14 will move smoothly on the top of the worktable 1. At the same time, the movement of the scraper 14 can scrape off the excess raw materials on the top of the mold slots 2 and scrape the excess raw materials on the top of the mold slots 2 into the collection box 18, ensuring that the operator can easily collect the excess raw materials, ensuring that there is no waste of raw materials, and helping to save resources.

[0071] Then, the scraper 14 is reset, and the hydraulic cylinder 8 is activated. The output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 8 drives the lower pressure plate 9 to move downward. The downward movement of the lower pressure plate 9 drives several upper molds 10 to move downward until the bottom ends of the upper molds 10 are inserted into the corresponding mold slots 2. At this time, the downward movement of the upper molds 10 will squeeze the raw material in the mold slots 2. Under the squeezing of the mold slots 2 and the upper molds 10, the raw material can be automatically squeezed into ceramic spheres. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is activated again, and the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 8 drives several upper molds 10 to move upward through the lower pressure plate 9. Until the bottom of several upper molds 10 is far away from the top of the mold groove 2, the operator can start two electric push rods 6. The output shafts of the two electric push rods 6 will drive the rectangular plate 5 to move upward in the rectangular groove 11. The upward movement of the rectangular plate 5 will drive several push rods 4 to move upward. The upward movement of the push rods 4 will squeeze the ceramic balls in several mold grooves 2 upward until the ceramic balls in the mold grooves 2 are higher than the top of the mold grooves 2, ensuring that the extruded ceramic balls can be automatically squeezed out, so that it is easy for the operator to take out the extruded ceramic balls.

[0072] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
